OUR STORY

I’ve always had an affinity for scent. The idea that it can transport you through time, calm an uneasy nervous system or fire up your senses and energise you, is magical.

I wanted to create something beautiful, something special, something memorable. I love the natural glow of a candle flame and my space smelling unique. I want to share my passion, by passing on a little bit of that glow, bringing some calm and warmth into your home and everyday living. Explore our range of scents and find that candle that will uplift your space or make the perfect gift to a friend.

The First Burn – When lighting your candle for the first time, burn until wax is fluid on entire surface of the vessel. This will prevent tunneling, and create a wax memory for the duration of the candles use, making your candle last longer.

Trim Your Wick – We recommend trimming your wick before every burn to approximately 6mm in length. This will help prevent mushrooming and unnecessary soot. Trimming to controlling the size of the flame will allow you to get the most out of your candle.

Once there is only 2cm of wax left in the glass your candle is done. Burning past this point can be dangerous. It is not recommended. Aether candles are made from soy wax. Each candle is hand poured, each one unique. Some candles may have some frosting or wet spots, this is normal and won’t affect the quality of the burn. No harmful additives have been used to curb aesthetic issues. This is a good thing. Keep in mind that each one was carefully poured and decorated with botanicals, no two candles will be exactly the same and this is apart of what makes our candles special. Light and glow.
